Birra Birrae

This unique take on a Dunkles Weissbier centers on a heartfelt tribute, blending traditional toasted wheat foundations with an assertive infusion of thyme. The aroma is dominated by a graceful, balsamic perfume of fresh thyme, which weaves through the expected clove and banana esters of the weizen yeast. On the palate, the rich, bready sweetness of toasted wheat provides a malty cushion for a distinctively herbal, lingering bitterness derived from the thyme. It presents a dark, hazy appearance and a medium-bodied, velvety mouthfeel, though it departs from tradition with an intentionally low carbonation profile that enhances its savory, soup-inspired character.

Appearance. Mahogany brown with a dark copper hue (approximately 18–22 SRM); appearance is distinctly cloudy and turbid. The head is off-white and creamy but exhibits lower retention and lacing than typical for the style due to the intentionally low carbonation level.

Aroma. High intensity. The primary aroma is a prominent, balsamic, and herbal perfume of thyme. Supporting this are moderate yeast esters of banana and phenolic clove. The malt backbone contributes moderate notes of toasted bread crust and rich, grainy wheat. Low to no hop aroma.

Taste. Initial impression is deeply balsamic and herbal. A medium-high malt flavor of toasted wheat and caramel provides a soft, bready foundation. This is countered by a pronounced bitterness that originates from the thyme infusion rather than hops. Low flavors of banana and clove persist in the background. The finish is notably long and savory, with a lingering herbal character and a touch of roasty dryness.

Mouthfeel. Medium body with a smooth, creamy texture. Carbonation is notably low, creating a stiller, more savory mouthfeel. No significant alcohol warmth; the herbal infusion provides a slight balsamic coating without harsh astringency.
